Flex mobile

Is it possible to build a flex mobile app that downloads a zip file from a remote server to the users device and extracts it for us within the app?
Just need to know if its possible or are there security restrictions that apply.

Can't convert Flex Mobile project to desktop project

I'm using the Flash Builder 4.6 trial, and I'm very new to flex development. I've been asked to convert an existing Flex Mobile project (appears to have been developed in Flash Builder 4.5) into an AIR desktop app.
The project imported without complaint. However, the Add/Change Project Type > Convert to Flex Desktop Project menu item is disabled.
I created a blank Flex Mobile project, then a blank Flex web project, then a blank ActionScript project. It's greyed out for those, too. I checked with the projects closed and open; the rest of the items on that submenu are enabled for all projects when closed.
Is this feature disabled in the trial version? Is something else going on?

Clearly the device from verizon works, I would try to contact a computer tech to repair your computer
Really it should be as simple as turn on, connect, go. If it isn't there is a break down somewhere in that computer

Hi,
I Have created basic flex mobile project using flash builder and i could able to run on desk top, but while running the same on device i am getting force close exception also dint get any error log. i am using samsung galaxy pop GT-S5570 as my testing device. i have configured usb driver and enabled usb debugging in my device too. any help to resolve this process?

08:20:45.751 Raw device 'sd=sd1,lun=/dev/rdsk/c3t5000CCA03EC50D5Dd0s0' does not exist, or no permissions.
Looks like either your lun doesnt exist OR you running vdbnech session not as root.

Is there a way to use Stage3D in Flex Mobile projects on iPad?

When I create a project of type "Action Script Mobile Project" the Stage3D works on iPad, Android device and in the AIR desktop simulator.
But when I create a project of type "Flex Mobile Project" it works in the desktop simulator and on Android device but does not work on iPad.
When running on iPad the stage.stage3Ds[] collection is empty.
Is it a sort of limitation made by intent? Or a bug? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?
What I actually need is an ability to render offscreen bitmaps with GPU in an application that uses Spark UI. This is why I need Flex Mobile project.
My configuration is the following:
iPad with retina display
Sony Xperia Tablet Z
AIR SDK 3.7 (and I have also tried AIR SDK 3.8 today)

Is there a way to save data to just one view in Flex Mobile applications?

I am having trouble handling data between views in a Flex Mobile application that I am writing. I know how to pass data from one view to another, but I was wondering if there is a way to save that data to a view, then get more data from another view (in this case it would be the same view that the original data came from) and put that data on the same view without overwriting the original data. I would be glad to post some code if anyone needs to see it.

I think we realise that this is the same question as the other thread.

How to insert a background image in VGroup in Flex Mobile

I want to insert a background image for this VGroup. Help me out. I'm new to Flex !!
I'm using this code in Flex Mobile Application
<s:VGroup height="100%" width="100%"
          paddingTop="10" paddingBottom="10" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10">
    <s:List id="homeList" height="100%"
            labelField="title"
            dataProvider="{homeNews}">
        <s:layout>
            <s:TileLayout requestedColumnCount="1"
                          verticalGap="5"/>
        </s:layout>
        <s:itemRenderer>
            <fx:Component>
                <s:ItemRenderer>
                    <s:VGroup>
                        <s:BitmapImage source="{data.source}"/>
                        <s:Label text="{data.title}" />
                    </s:VGroup>
                </s:ItemRenderer>
            </fx:Component>
        </s:itemRenderer>
    </s:List>
</s:VGroup>

I don't think you can add a background image to a VGroup directly, nor can VGroup be skinned.
As far as I am aware there are probably 2 solutions
1) use a SkinnableContainer instead skin the container to have a background image and set its layout to VerticalLayout
2) enclose the VGroup in a Group with a BasicLayout. you can then add a background image to the Group and overlay the VGroup

Two styles for a native look (Flex Mobile App)?

Hello,
is it possible to use two styles/looks for the same App, that this one will look native on iOS AND on Android?
Or will I have to build the same App twice to get this?

Flex Mobile project scaling with Retina display iPad (3rd gen).

Adobe et al,
With the new iPad 3 we now have a ton more pixels to utilize. I'm familiar with and have already successfully tested the AIR 3.1+ commandline compiler option (-platformsdk) to get Retina display on the new iPad. In ActionScript mobile projects the content is rendered beautifully on the new iPad. But with Flex Mobile projects, something is happening that causes it to render incorrectly. It's retina display alright, but the size is way too small.
Below is an image WITHOUT the -platformsdk build tag, that causes the app to be pixel doubled to fit on the new iPad:
Notice that it's scaled proportionally, even though the text and components are slightly pixelated. Not a big deal, but noticeable on the device.
This image is taken with the app rendering in Retina display (setting the -platformsdk pointing to iOS 5.1 SDK):
As you can see, the text/components are rendered really clear, but the scale is way off. Obviously it's getting the width of 2048x1536 from the device, but it's way too small.
How do I fix this? I've tried changing the applicationDPI, but it doesn't fix it. Setting a width/height of 1024x768 does nothing either. It seems we need to overrride a behavior that causes it to fit everything in so small.
A little help?
Thanks,
iBrent

Alright, kevinkorngut's answer was the right one. It appears that even though AIR 3.x can render high resolution apps, it still returns the incorrect DPI for the new iPad. In a Flex Mobile project you have to override the DPI using the method mentioned above.
Here are the results I got:
Using the runtimeDPIProvider property on the TabViewApplication tag (works for any of the three project types) I created a class that extends RuntimeDPIProvider. To detect which iPad I was on, I used the following code:
override public function get runtimeDPI():Number
     var os:String = Capabilities.os;
     if(os.indexOf("iPad") != -1)
          if(Capabilities.screenResolutionX > 2000 || Capabilities.screenResolutionY > 2000)
               return DPIClassification.DPI_320;
          } else {
               return DPIClassification.DPI_160;
     } else {
          return Capabilities.screenDPI;
I'm returning a DPI of 320 as this gives the best result that matches the proportions of the device. In other words, even though the iPad DPI is 264, setting the app to 320 gives the correct size at the new Retina display.
In order for this to work, you must compile the app with the -platformsdk flag pointing to iOS 5.1 SDK, and currently that means you need a Mac running Lion with Xcode 4.3.1. Here's the adt command I used:
adt -package -target ipa-test -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ~/Desktop/iOS_DevCert.p12 -provisioning-profile ~/Desktop/iOS_DevProfile.mobileprovision newiPadTest.ipa newiPadTest-app.xml newiPadTest.swf -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPh oneOS5.1.sdk
Also, the -app.xml descriptor file must have the <requestedDisplayResolution>high</requestedDisplayResolution> within the <iPhone> tags.
Thanks everyone for their replies!

Adobe Flex Mobile + AIR - Custom iOS Build Setting

I am building some Adobe Flex Mobile application using Flex 4.6.0 + AIR 3.5 only for iOS
This app involves some iOS Native Extension created also by me.
The thing is that this ANE uses some third party framework (GD.framework from Good Dynamics Technology). That framework requires GD FIPS linker to be used, and for that, i need to set some custom build settings in a .xcconfig file, with this content:
FIPS_PACKAGE=$(CURRENT_ARCH).sdk LDPLUSPLUS=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld LD=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld
The ANE compiles OK, but then, I add the ANE to the app, I compile the app, but when I launch the app, it crashes because the FIPS linker was not properly got set on my Flex Mobile project.
So, my question is:
Is there a way to set the above configuration on my project like somebody would do in a Xcode project?
Regards!

I see your key as a reserved key for iOS. I haven't tested it myself but here's the keys you cannot change. Sure enough, MinimumOSVersion is reserved.

Flex Mobile Project UI Templates?

I'd love to find some flex mobile templates to use in flash builder that already have the platform of many of the functional UI elements in them. I feel this would be a great springboard to learn more through examining pre-built projects as a means to get started with designing my own iPhone apps. Are there sites available where I can purchase such templates? What kind of file extensions am I looking for ui templates that would plug into flex mobile in flash builder? If they are free that is great too, though I don't mind paying for good quality app templates and would appreciate suggestions of sites/services that offer this.
Thanks,
Scott

I did come across scalenine.com/gallery which seems to offer flex themes and skins. Are there other alternatives or similar sites that are available for this purpose of offering project templates to start with for flex mobile?

Flex Mobile Project only lists "Google Android" in Target Platforms

I just downloaded the masters colection cs5.5 and im am using FlashBuilder 4.5. When I create a new Flex Mobile Project, only Google Android is a target platform. I don't see Blackberry or iOS as options.
I do see Apple iOS when I create a mobile ActionScript project.
This must be due to a configuration setting. Can anyone help?
i have already looked at this peron post and i have tryed all of the sollutions and none of them seem to work http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867857

That didn't help me either. Ultimately, here's what I did.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the software
After it was reinstalled, I updated to the 4.5.1 SDK PRIOR to doing any other software update.
Then I updated the Software
The software update found all new items and installed them properly (which is what I believe the issue is -- if you update prior to using the 4.5.1 SDK it doesn't install the required bits).
Now it seems to be working for me.
Not sure if that's the problem, but that's how I fixed it.

Flex mobile project: web root and root path for a remote web service?

Hi all,
i'm trying to set up the testdrive tutorial for flex mobile project, with flash builder 4.5
and php data.
I've uploaded the files on my remote web space (e.g. http://mywebsite.org, and the
test file is http://mywebsite.org/TestDrive/test/test.php... and it works
correctly)... But when i'm setting properties of the project, i don't know what
to write into the web root and root path fields... I thing root path is simply
http://mywebsite.org... and whatever i write in the other fields (output folder
too) i have errors when i click on "validate configuration"...
What should i put into those fields? is zend framework (and gateway.php)
strictly necessary?
As you can see... i'm a bit confused....
Many thanks for any help
Bye
Alex

I thought it was a simple question...
No advice?

FLEX mobile project SDK?

I've built my air/android apps using "Flex Mobile projects" in Flash Builder 4.5. I really need to test front camera support in an app im about to release. Will there be a Flex version of the Beta SDK so I can test this in my flex mobile projects? is it possible to use the "AIR 3 SDK Beta 2" SDK with a flex mobile project somehow?

Yes follow the instructions here to change out the AIR version under Flex SDK 4.5.1

Flex mobile project as a library for Objective-c project?

We have a objective-c app for ios already,
now we have to add a rtmp based feature(I write that with a flex mobile project).
is there any way to compile the flex mobile project as a objective-c library ,so that the objective-c developer can make that work on ios device?
Please help me ,Thanks!

Usually, people include the objective-c libraries in their AIR applications, using native extensions. However, if you just want rtmp streaming in your native iOS app using flash and not the UI, you may want to use the AV Foundation framework, instead of a flex mobile project.
You may find some useful information and links in this article to achieve it: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/streaming-video-ios.html

How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...
...it is basically based on this:
